Individuals looking for returns on their personal assets (with or without real estate background) and institutional hard money that a broker loans for an investor or a pool.The latter usually have predetermined products which the loan must conform to (i.e. 65% LTV of the lesser of purchase or appraised value) and are brokered through mortgage lenders to conform to securities regulations.You should be looking for a smaller private lender for your situation.
